Provided is a method for determining the level of inflammatory bowel disease by determining the amount of a polypeptide comprising a specific amino acid sequence in a sample obtained from a mammal. A method for measuring the level of inflammatory bowel disease by detecting a decrease in the amount of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 in a sample obtained from a mammal. Alternatively, by detecting the amount of the polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 and the polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 in a sample obtained from a mammal, inflammatory bowel A method of measuring the level of disease. Furthermore, a composition comprising an antibody that specifically binds to the polypeptide, which is used for detecting the expression level of the polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6.
